Objective To observe the effect of acupuncture plus rehabilitation in treating deglutition disorders due to cerebral stroke and its effect on each link of the neural pathway of deglutition function. Method By adopting the prospective randomized controlled method, ninety-nine patients with deglutition disorders after cerebral stroke were recruited and divided into an acupuncture-rehabilitation group, a pharyngeal acupuncture group, and a control group, respectively 33 cases, 34 cases, and 32 cases in each group. The acupuncture-rehabilitation group was intervened by acupuncture respectively at scalp, pharyngeal, and the root of tongue plus basic treatment, the pharyngeal acupuncture group was by acupuncture at the deglutition point (Extra) plus basic treatment, while the control group was by the basic treatment alone, once a day, 4 weeks in total. The Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) and Clinical Nursing Swallowing Assessment Tool (CNSAT) were evaluated and statistically analyzed before and after intervention. Result The component scores of CNSAT were significantly improved after intervention in the acupuncture-rehabilitation group (P<0.01); the component scores of CNSAT were significantly changed after intervention in the pharyngeal acupuncture group (P<0.05);the CNSAT component scores in the acupuncture-rehabilitation group were significantly different from that in the pharyngeal acupuncture group and control group after intervention (P<0.01); the CNSAT component scores in the pharyngeal acupuncture group were significantly different from that in the control group after intervention (P<0.05). The FOIS scores were enhanced in the three groups after treatment; the FOIS score was significantly changed in the acupuncture-rehabilitation group after intervention (P<0.01);the FOIS score was markedly changed in the pharyngeal acupuncture group after intervention (P<0.05);the FOIS scores in the acupuncture-rehabilitation group and pharyngeal acupuncture group were both significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.01,P<0.05). Conclusion The scalp-pharyngeal-root of tongue sequential-acupuncture plus rehabilitation can effectively mitigate the deglutition problems after cerebral stroke, improve the food-intake ability of the patients, and reduce the risk of mistake inhalation.

Objective:The research aimed to figure out the geographic availability of the residence in the aspect of receiving health service thereby studying the spatial distribution regulation and the distance attenuation coefficient of the inpatients.It also provides the decision-making basis for the regional health planning.Methods: Select 23 medical institutions and randomly pick up patients from each of them, calculate the distance between the inpatients home and the medical institutions, then simulate the corresponding probability patients using the Geographical Infor-mation System ( GIS) .Perform a variety of curve fitting models according to the determination and simulation graph-ics coefficient choosing the most appropriate model, and draw corresponding the distance attenuation coefficient.Re-sults:An exponential curve model is better than power curve model for the secondary medical institutions inpatients distribution and contrarily for those in the tertiary medical institutions.The mean distance attenuation coefficient was 0.51 for exponential curve model of secondary comprehensive medical institutions inpatients and its average was 0.50 for the secondary specialist medical institutions inpatients.The mean distance attenuation coefficient was 0.84 for the power curve model of the tertiary comprehensive medical institutions inpatient and its average was 0.53 for tertiary specialist medical institutions inpatients.Conclusion: The secondary medical institutions inpatient probable attenua-tion trends with distance are faster than in tertiary medical institutions, those for the comprehensive medical institu-tions inpatient are faster than in the specialist medical institutions.In the regional health planning, for different lev-els, categories of medical institutions should adopt different distance attenuation coefficients to calculate the health re-sources level.

ObjectiveTo investigate the neuropsychological impairments and risk factors that caused cognitive disturbance in patients with silent brain infarction (SBI). Methods36 SBI subjects and 25 normal controls were compared on a comprehensive neuropsychological test battery. Logistic regression was used to analysis the risk factors. ResultsThe SBI group scored lower on the visual retention test (VRT), the WAIS RC full scale IQ, standard scores of the perceptual organization factor and memory/attention factors than did the control group. The score of self rating depression scale (SDS) was higher in SBI group. Hypertension and leukoaraiosis (LA) were correlates of cognitive impairment in logistic regression analyses. Conclusions SBI has some degree of neuropsychological impairment, especially deficits of visuospatial ability, disturbance of perceptual organization, memory and attention, and some degree of depression. Hypertension and LA independently contribute to the risk factors of cognitive disturbance.

Objective To explore the inflammatory mechanisms of pulmonary embolism ( PTE ) and/or deep venous thrombosis ( DVT ) in elders secondary to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD) exacerbation.Methods A total of 26 elders with acute exacerbation of high-risk COPD secondary PTE and/or DVT and 26 patients with low-risk COPD during stable phase diagnosed during the period of January 2008 to December 2012 were enrolled.The relevant parameters of routine blood examination , blood viscosity, D-dimer, fibrinogen ( FIB), arterial blood gas, blood cytokine, erythrocyte sedimentation rate ( ESR ) and C-reactive protein ( CRP ) were retrospectively analyzed.Results The major nonspecific symptoms were cough, sputum and dyspnea.The mean of neutrophile percentage (N%), D-dimer, FIB, interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), C-reactive protein (CRP), low and high shear blood viscosity in blood samples of patients with acute exacerbation of high-risk COPD secondary PTE and ( or ) DVT were higher than those of the control group ( t =3.339, 2.700, 2.207, 2.431, 2.257, 2.143, 2.223, 2.797, all P<0.05).However arterial partial pressure of oxygen ( PaO2 ) was lower than that of lower-risk COPD patients (t=4.312, P<0.05).IL-6 in blood of patients with acute exacerbation of high-risk COPD secondary PTE and ( or) DVT was positively correlated with low-shear blood viscosity , D-dimer and FIB (r=0.437, 0.624, 0.429, all P<0.05).TNF in blood of patients with acute exacerbation of high-risk COPD secondary PTE and ( or ) DVT was positively correlated to FIB , low and high cut blood viscosity ( r =0.624, 0.519, 0.513, all P <0.05 ).Plasma CRP in blood of patients with acute exacerbation of high-risk COPD secondary PTE and/or DVT was positively correlated with D-dimer, FIB, IL-6 and TNF ( r=0.478, 0.541, 0.533, 0.491, all P<0.05).Conclusions Inflammation may exist in elders with acute exacerbation of high-risk COPD secondary thrombotic disease.IL-6 and TNF may promote thrombosis secondary to acute exacerbation of COPD disease.Early screening and/or prophylactic anticoagulation are necessary for prevention.

Objective To construct double expression retroviral vectors targeting chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) b3a2-type mRNA and investigate its effect on the phenotype of K562 cells. Methods The eGFP coding sequence was inserted into the retroviral vector pMSCV-neo to construct pMSCV/GFP, then H1-RNA pol III-based transcription cassettes was subcloned into it to form pMSCV/GFP-H1-BCR/ABL40AS. Two control vectors pMSCV/GFP-H1-BCR/ABL40S & pMSCV/GFP-H1-BCR/ABL80AS were constructed in addition. All these constructions were identified by restriction enzyme analysis and DNA sequencing. After that, the recombinant vectors were transferred into retrovirus packaging cell line PT67 by using lipofectamine2000, and G418 were used to select stable virus-producing cell lines. Viral titer was determined by infection of NIH3T3 cells sequentially. The cell-growth curve was assayed, cell apoptosis was checked with Annexin V-PE/7AAD double staining and flow cytometry analysis after 24-hour infection, the PKR phosphorylation was assayed by Western blotting. Results The plasmids were successfully constructed. Four cell lines, named as PT67-MSCV/GFP, PT67-40as, PT67-40s and PT67-80as were gained by G418 selection, and virus titers were 6.2?10~ 5 , 5.6?10~ 5 , 4.6?10~ 5 and 6.0?10~ 5 CFU/ml respectively. PT67-40as suspensions could induce K562 cell apoptosis by (22.54?3.19)%, significantly different from PT67-MSCV/GFP or PT67-40s (P

LTB gene fragment was amplified by PCR from plasmid pMDTLT, and a recombinant plasmid pETLTBVP1 was constructed by inserting LTB gene fragment into VP1 gene expression plasmid pETVP1 constructed previously. The recombinant plasmids were transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3) and induced to express by IPTG. The recombinant protein existed in the inclusion body and its molecular weight was about 39 kD proved by SDS-PAGE analysis. Western blotting showed that the fusion protein could be reacted with both anti-FMDV and anti-cholera toxin serum demonstrating the immunoactivity of the fusion protein. Strong immune responses can be induced in mice inoculated with the fusion protein intraperitoneally, and the serum antibody level is higher than that of commercial foot-and-mouth disease vaccines.
